Bryston BDA-1 used V/S Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2


Please suggest : I do not have a PC based system, but only a tube based Preamp, Amp and CDP system ( Red book CD only ) . I wish to decide between Bryston BDA-1 (used available around $ 1500 ) and New unit of Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2 ( New $ 1500 ) . I will also in near future buy a Transport and get away from my existing CDP ( Cary 303-100 ) .
Can you guys pl suggest which DAC should I go for ?

The BDA-1 is an excellent DAC. One of the best I've heard, regardless of price. Sure there's better out there, but there always is, and it'll cost you a ton of money.

I know you don't intend on using a computer as a source any time soon, but if you change your mind down the road, there's ways to get the maximum out of the BDA-1. Bryston demoed the BDA-1 at a show recently using the HiFace or whatever it's called with excellent results, according to a lot of people.

Bryston's warranty and customer support/service are second to none. I own a B60 and can't say enough good things about them as a company. Not that they're the only great company out there, but they're easily a model of what a great company should be.
